A '''battery charger''' stores [[chemical energy]] into a battery by forcing electrical current through it, reversing the chemical reactions that produce energy.

@@ Line 1: / Line 1: @@
 A '''battery charger''' stores chemical energy into a [[Battery (electrical)|battery]] by forcing [[electrical current]] through it, reversing the chemical reactions that produce [[energy]].  In an exact reversal of the discharge process, a battery charger makes the cathode undergo oxidation, which consumes electrons (electricity). Meanwhile, the anode undergoes a reduction reaction.  This "resets" the battery, so that it can again release energy when needed.<br />
-Different batteries require different voltage, amperage, and wattage, depending on the battery design, components, and size. A small "AA" cell battery, for example, will only have the ability to release about 1.2 volts, when fully charged, and should therefore be charged with a similar voltage.  Attaching a car battery charger and forcing 12 volts through that small battery would at best damage the battery, and a worst cause damage to its surroundings as well.

Therefore, a variety of battery chargers exist, for the various different kinds of rechargeable batteries.
